Montalto Pennon Hill Rosé 2018

Montalto Pennon Hill Rosé is a vibrant strawberry red in colour. Bright red fruits including strawberry, raspberry and cherry sherbet combine with a lick of watermelon and some lovely floral and spice qualities.

Saturating red fruits carry onto the textured and silken palate. The palate is generous, with lovely creamy qualities balanced by fresh natural acidity and a savoury long finish. A tremendous food wine.

Food Match: Yabby tails with aioli

Our pinot might be deceiving with its soft colouring, but it sure packs a punch when it hits the palate! Tremendous value.

The new wave of chardonnays, particularly those from cool climates, are exciting wine drinkers everywhere. Our ‘goldilocks’ growing conditions here on the Pen (not too hot, not too cold, but just right) allows the grape to ripen slowly while retaining the freshness of natural acidity that’s so important to achieving balance with chardonnay, and Tucks Chardonnay is a cracking example of this. Stone fruit, citrus and mineral characters combine with a silky ribbon of toasty vanilla, brilliantly balanced by classic chardonnay bready notes. Time to give this classic grape another go…
